Indore Doctor Fatally Shot by Assailants Posing as Patients

Dr. Sunil Sahu was killed in a premeditated attack at his clinic, prompting outrage and demands for justice from the medical community.

Dr. Sunil Sahu, a 30-year-old homeopathic doctor, was shot dead at his clinic in Indore late Friday night by three men posing as patients seeking treatment for a cold and cough.
The attackers initially paid a consultation fee and left with medication but returned armed, demanding cash and valuables before fatally shooting Dr. Sahu in the chest.
Police believe the murder was premeditated, as the suspects conducted a recce of the clinic for several hours before the attack, which occurred during a power outage and heavy rain that disabled CCTV cameras.
Dr. Sahu’s compounder revealed that the doctor recognized one of the attackers and attempted to engage him in conversation before being shot; police are investigating potential personal or professional motives.
The murder has sparked protests from the medical community, with demands for swift justice, financial aid for Dr. Sahu’s family, and enhanced security for healthcare professionals.
